Plot Summary of Thirty-Two and Raining
"Sinter Blackwell, aspiring actor with a penchant for black eyeliner, is loved by his girlfriend Lydia, and has just been cast as the lead in a romantic TV movie in London. So why isn't he happy? And why is he still haunted by a kiss he shared with his best friend Andy, when they were 15? Sinter returns home to the Pacific Northwest, to face Andy, his parents, and other issues, little suspecting how they will soon multiply."
Daphne McLaren, Resident Scholar
